a food revolution is the best kind of revolution

I

I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for this show, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.  I stumbled upon the first episode the other day on hulu.com and thought I'd watch just a few minutes.  Over half an hour later I was moved to tears (what can I say, food and passionate people make me emotional) and found myself motivated to make similar positive changes within my own life, like Jamie so eloquently does in Food Revolution.


The concept of Jamie's show is to make changes in America's bogus school meal systems.  He pays a visit to the most obese city in America to literally get to the heart of the problem.  What he found was disgustingly alarming: kids were eating pizza for breakfast, processed nuggets for lunch, and were mindlessly throwing away all things nourishing.  His mission is basically to educate people about food, especially our future generations, and explain why nutrition is so very important.  Jamie wants to reevaluate the school meal systems in a way that will incorporate fresh ingredients and eliminate the fatty, preservative-infused foods that these children have become so (sadly) accustomed to. 


Not only is the show moving, it is smart, funny (how can you not love British humor?), and educational.  It will teach you about nutrition and maybe even give you some cooking ideas of your own (he is a chef, after all).  Watch the show, and pay attention.
